Time to pick up our marathon numbers and race packages at ESPN's Wide World of Sports, home of the Thrill of Victory and the Agony of the Feet
Right off the bat, we found a marathon for the Duke of Dusseldorf himself, Sean Kenny, to run the week after this year's Boston Marathon
We immediately made chEAR signs for our supporters. Wait - Carlos ran Disney?
As you can see, we leave our mark wherever we go
Apparently this is a warning system they use whenever Barry comes to town. I'm thinking it should have been high.
A packed Expo - break out the wallets
Biggest complaint of the day - the New Balance exclusive Marathon sneakers. We were on scenewithin the first hour of the expo, and immediately signed up in the electronic queue which provided me with a two-hour wait, but it didn't matter. ALL OF THE MEN'S SIZES WERE ALREADY SOLD OUT! Within the expo's first hour! Inexcusable, unforgivable, and pathetic planning by a supposedly lead sponsor. Didn't help that as I live-texted a fellow E Streeter back here in the Bay State, he was looking at the sneakers on-line at the same time, being sold on ebay for over $300 a pair. Shame on you, New Balance.
Andrew and I took time to pose in the RunDisney 360 cam. Kinda like a Hollywood night, without the revealing dresses and obnoxious celebrities
We can't do these things without our supporters, the biggest and bestest chEAR squads found in any Magic Kingdom! Here's two of mine breaking the tape at the finish lines!
As corral assignments go, Barry and I being in the elite corral is clearly some serious corral assignment snafu that would result in some race organizer getting fired
Andrew, clearly, belongs there
Thats because he's all he's quacked up to be
My favorite Mouseketeers
See ya Wide World of Sports - here's hoping you're prophetic!
